Glenwood Springs, CO

I was asked to go to Glenwood Springs, CO around Memorial Day weekend.  I got approval from my work to drive my truck and trailer and stay with my family over the weekend and then do work after Memorial Day.  I am so grateful for my job and the opportunity I have to travel, spend time with my family and do something I love. 


We defiantly had angels watching over us.  As we were nearing Spanish Fork, UT  we heard loud bang a couple to times, we weren’t sure what the noise was. We got off at Spanish Fork to head through the canyon to Colorado.  When we stopped at a red light, the trailer brakes locked up and we heard a really loud noise.  Zac pulled into the nearest parking lot and this is what our hitch was doing. One of the cotter pins had come out of our trailer hitch.  We still aren’t sure how we didn’t lose the trailer or how we were able to keep it attached on the freeway.  We were able to get a new pin and Zac bent the part of the hitch back that was messed up.  I am so grateful for angels that are watching over us and protecting us.  I am also grateful for Zac’s handyman skills to be able to fix anything in a time of need.  I am so blessed!!  






While I was at the hospital working, Zac took the boys fishing.  They caught some good looking fish on the Colorado River.  





On Memorial Day we took the boys to an adventure park in Glenwood Springs.  It’s an amusement park built on the side and top of a mountain.  It was so crazy but so fun!!  We had to ride a gondola to get up to the park and then there were multiple roller coasters and swings that went over the edge of the mountain.  It was right up the boys alley of adventure :) 













After the adventure park, we went fishing on the Colorado River.  Kyson got bored and I saw him walking around, but I didn’t know what he was doing.  Turns out he was picking these beautiful flowers to make me a bouquet.  He is such a sweetheart!!  I love the little things my boys do for me to show me they care.  I am so grateful for this crazy life of boys that I have.  They are so good to me!!

Motocross 2023

Towards the beginning of the races it started to thunder and lighting, they evacuated everyone from the stands.  After about 30 minutes they said it was clear to enter back into the stadium.  Once the races started it started to rain, then downpour.  The boys were determined to stay.  About halfway through the show we went out and bought everyone sweatshirts because we were so wet and cold.  It was kind of miserable but we made it through.  The boys stayed all the way to the end.  Definitely a night to remember.

Young Men Bike Rides

Our ward is taking the priests and teachers on a 100 mile bike ride at the end of the summer.  A couple times a month they are going biking to train for the big ride.  I love our leaders and our ward and all the work they put into helping our boys find Christ.  I love this gospel and the amazing joy it brings to our lives!!

MORP 2023

Tegan got asked to MORP.  I can’t believe he’s old enough to start dating and going to dances.  I am SO EXCITED for this stage of his life.  I hope he has so much fun and gets out and does a lot of fun things.  It was weird sending him off to the dance, but so exciting at the same time.  He went with Brooke Richards and had a really fun time.
